1. Context Embedded

The Intensive TOEFL course is based on a communicative approach to learning and focuses on meaningful communication skills. This motivates students to read, listen, speak, and write.

A variety of different topics are used to teach test taking strategies and keep the classroom content engaging.

2. Multimedia Support

This course uses interactive multimedia such as news videos, audio recordings, and presentations to assist students in building background knowledge as well as improving their comprehension of academic content.

3. Academic Word List

Students are introduced to the Academic Word List (AWL) and have opportunities to practice these words which occur in high frequency in academic contexts.

Studies show that students who master the AWL are more likely to succeed in an academic setting.

4. Online Skills Trainer

Every student takes an online test preparation course in conjunction with his or her regular classroom hours.

This online component focuses study on the parts of the tests that students often find the most challenging, the speaking and writing portions.

All practice tests are timed which assists students in getting used to the time pressure of the tests.

5. Authentic Practice

The course content provides daily opportunities to practice for the test using authentic questions and listening and reading materials from actual TOEFL tests.

Students also regularly practice under exam conditions to develop timed test-taking strategies.

Students are able to practice speaking with a headset and microphone and are given many timed writing assignments.

Extra information

We recommend that students begin training at least four weeks before they take the real exam. Depending on their level, some students may require longer periods of study before taking the TOEFL exam to reach their test goals.

Students can request additional assistance on specific TOEFL skills during their Guided Study lessons.

Assessment

Continuous assessment helps students check their progress towards their goal and see their own improvement on a regular basis.

Students begin with a diagnostic test and are then measured on a weekly basis with assignments, participation, and assessments.

They have online access to one full-length test per month during their course and hundreds of practice exercises.

Students can review their incorrect answers with detailed explanations of the correct answers.
